Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Tesla P40 have display outputs?

No — the Tesla P40 is a compute-only GPU with no display outputs. It is designed exclusively for data center compute and inference workloads.

Does this require active cooling?

The P40 uses passive cooling and requires adequate server chassis airflow. It is not suitable for standard desktop or workstation cases without forced airflow.
